Shell begins main construction on Pennsylvania petchem complex
Shell Chemical Appalachia LLC announced the official start of the main construction phase of its major petrochemicals complex in Pennsylvania, USA. This follows the successful completion of the site preparation and detailed design and engineering work. The final investment decision was taken in June 2016, with commercial production expected to begin early next decade.
Shell will now progress to the construction of four processing units—an ethane cracker and three polyethylene units. The ethane cracker will be the largest part of the facility.
The petrochemicals complex will use ethane from shale-gas producers in the Marcellus and Utica basins to produce 1.6 MMt of polyethylene per year.
